I need help. I have flashed multiple ROM's. I'm still learning but I've been reading up to learn and I always have the directions in front of me, just in case, when flashing or installing new ROM, Radios, etc.

I've used multiple Team BAMF ROMS and some AOSP ROMS. I just tried a couple of new one's over the weekend (both Sense and AOSP). After a couple of hours my data connection is lost.

I fully wiped when I installed. I've switched radio's from the newest to older. I've changed Kernals. I've pulled the battery. Yes, the radio (PNG file) is also off of my SD Card once it has been updated. It is not just one particular ROM either, it's every ROM I've tried to install lately. I've tried AOSP and Sense ROMs and it works for a couple of hours and then data is lost and I can't get it back.

The only thing I now can get to run is my backup ROM from Team BAMF FOREVER (version 7). I use that now for my daily driver but I really want to upgrade it.

I will start over or do anything to get this situation rectified. I know I'm going to have my T-Bolt for another 11 months, so I just want it to work and running fast and smooth.

Running ROM now: BAMF Forever v7 (only one I can get to work right now)
Baseband version (right now)
1.48.00.0930w_3 0.01.78.0916w_3
Stock kernal from this ROM
 
I'm the one that had the problem. I spent one night talking to a couple of guys at Team BAMF. We found out that I had correctly installed my ROM and radios. Here is the last resort they told me and it has worked.

When you finish installing your ROM and your phone has rebooted, leave it alone. Do not do anything. Let the ROM settle in. I was installing all apps, setting up email, everything. I left it alone for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, I rebooted the phone again. I then have taken it very slowly installing apps. Usually one at a time to see if it might have been an app. So far, so good. Also when installing apps, do it through the market, not through TI Backup. I had done it that way, just letting you know.

I know this seems so simple but it has worked for me.

Other options that I had tried before this involved:
1) Pulling battery, waiting 30 seconds, and putting it back in. Make sure you cover is securely back on your phone.
2) Turn on airplane mode, wait 30 seconds, and turn it off. I've had to do this before and it has worked.
3) Reboot phone.

Good luck. I really hated being rooted a couple of weeks ago. I love it again.
